Among the new fabrics for white COS
tunes is fine alpaca or brillianiine,
which is as durable as any wooden fabric
in white can be. It is more stylish than
pun's yelling or albatrOss cloth.
Ribbon bretelles are tasty accessory
to summer dresses, and are arranged in a
| point at the waist line both front and
back, and are then carried to the shout
der, where bow completes them.
Economical ladies, who wish to vary
the toilet at minimum Of expense, have
! their black lace dresses made entirely
without lining, so that they may be worn
over different skirts and bodices.
Many of the new cotton dresses have
| basques of plain sateen or bingham, the
skirt and drapery being of the same fab
ric in large plaids or wide stripes, the
predominating color matchi--; that of the
basque.
Among the prettiest ''wash" dresses of
this season are those of heliotrope or Law
ender bingham, with white primrose
stripes. Loops and bows of darker vel
vet ribbon serve as garniture on the
bodice and sleeves.
Sateens are in unique designs to be
stylish, and two different designs are
used in the same costume, the under
dress being of one and the over-dress of
another. Such costumes are made from
the pattern sateens.
A costume which is more serviceable

Hamburgs, which are very stylish, and
not very expensive.
The suggestion of the fashionable gilt
or silver braid is the most elegant finish
white cloth costume can have. The
braid is set well under the edge of the
jacket and the panel plates. Gilt buttons
of small size are used.
The gathered belted waist is the favor.
lite corsage for bingham dresses. A
collar of embroidery either standing or
turned over in Byron shape is sometimes
added, many of the cotton dresses the
present season being cut quite low at the
throat.
A New York girl has given jeweler
an order for a silver belt in links. In
stead of Roman medallions on the linked
plates, however, she wants the features
of some of her young male friends cut in
bas-reief and has furnished the photog
raphs.
Sheer lawns for dresses are being i'm
ported in solid colors, mauvc, blue, pink
or lilac, with tiny specks or embroidered
dots sprinklcd thickly over them. These
are usually made with polonaises SHRED
on the corsage and trimmed with point
desprit lace.
Many novelties in gloves have lately
been introduced. First come white
Swedish gloves with gauntlet of four
rows of quilted lace, then gray Swedish
kid with pinked out edge and a flower
worked with black silk, in satin stitch,
on each point. Belgian gloves with
stamped out trimming are very suitable
for travelling wear, and very long thread
gloves handsomely trimmed with lace
ruchings are intended to be worn instead
of long sleeves.
Ladies who have lace garments laid
away may bring them out and utilize
them in making lace dresses. A lace
sacque may be converted into a pretty
gathered basque by shirring it in at the
waist over silk lining. If the sleeves
were in flowing shape. they should be
turned upside down, the widest parts
gathered in at the armhole, thereby max
ing perfect leg of mutton sleeves. Lace
shawls and mantles may be used as dra-
perry, and lace tlounces are favored as
trimmings upon silk and other dresses,
as well as for part Of the lace dresses.
